According to Archimedes' principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. A 150-lb

m swimmer is floating in nearby pool; 95% of her body's volume is in the water while 5% of her body's volume is above water. Determine the density of the swimmer's body The density of water is 0.036 lbm/in5. Does your answer make sense?? Why why not?

Answer:

The density of the swimmer is 0.0342 lbm/in3.

This value makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Explanation:

If the swimmers is floating, the weight of the swimmer must be equal to the upward buoyant force.

We can express the weight force as the product of density and volume of the swimmer.

Then

\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*V_{water_displaced}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*0.95**V_{swimmer}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*\rho_{water}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*0.036 lbm/in3\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.0342lbm/in3

It makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Answer: It was known as the SPACE RACE.

Explanation: The space race was a cold war between the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US), to get satellites and humans into space. The competition began in earnest on August 2, 1955, when the Soviet Union responded to the US announcement. On April 12, 1961, the USSR surprised the world again by launching Yuri Gagarin into a single orbit around the Earth in a craft they called Vostok 1.

This thermogram shows a person using a computer. Complete the sentence to describe the flow of thermal energy between the person
sergejj [24]
<h2>Answer : The thermal energy will flow from the computer to the person.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

Usually computer are such devices which converts electrical energy into thermal energy and then it gets transferred to the person. The energy flows from the higher amount to lower amount. In this case, computer is producing higher thermal energy than the person that's the reason for the flow of energy from computer to the person.
